Greetings,
a certain thing starts to puzzle me.
The "LongLas" is described as a sniper weapon
As far as I know "fluff", Las weapons of the imperium are described to have a very visible "blast" / "ray"
A sniper does not want to give his position away. As long as possible.
In conclusion, a Las weapon seems rather inappropiate to a sniper. At least, to me.
I know about "prominent snipers" in novells (this "Tanith One & Only" seems to have one) totting LongLas or similiar weapons.
Is this "visible light"-thing mentioned their? How is it handled in the novels? I am more then willing to bend thing this way and that way to ensure that the long las is at least "usable" for sniping.
Thanks!
